Despite the shortcomings of the Golden Griffin teams, the tournament itself is considered a success by many, including co-host Canisius. While the men got to the finals, the women's team were not that fortunate as they dropped a 74-56 game to Loyola last Friday night. Two hot games and over 8,000 screaming fans could not bring the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Championship and a NCAA Tournament bid back to Buffalo as Canisius fell short, 78- 72, in its' bid to defend their MAAC title against the team they beat for it, Fairfield, Monday night at the Marine Midland Arena (MMA). "I think that student involvement and participation throughout the weekend was a tremendous success," said Jill Miodonski of Sports Promotion. "We sold over 2,200 student tickets. I think we showed people that we are really behind our team."
